(HBO) – Hoa Binh province is embarking on a project on zoning off areas for medicinal plants, with priority given to the development of medicinal species with great competitive edges thanks to adaptation to cool climate, gradually meeting domestic demand and exports.
The sachi tree growing
project – a joint work between Inca Vietnam JSC and farmers in 10 provinces and
city – is lauded for its higher economic efficiency than other plants. The company’s
material area has covered 100ha, including 50ha currently under harvest. As a
plant with many uses, sachi has contributed to creating jobs and increasing
rural workers’ income.

Under a master plan on
medicinal plants till 2025, 24 species of the locality’s strength will be grown
on a site of 2,815ha, costing more than 1.2 trillion VND. Of which, over 415
billion VND will be from the State budget and the remaining from businesses and
people. The capital will help upgrade infrastructure, adopt technological
advances, agricultural encouragement, training, cultivation, trade promotion
and manage the quality of material areas.
Once the master plan is
launched, it is expected that medicine supply to the market will increase by
10-12 times from the current volume, thus meeting demand for medicines and
improving consumers’ health. Nearly 16,000 regular jobs are expected to be created
in the locality, contributing to improving local lives in zoned-off areas.
The stable and long-term
development of medicinal plant areas will help improve economic value on cultivated
area, creating more jobs and improving workers’ income as well as protecting
health of producers, consumers and ecological environment./.
During the two days of November 14th – 15th, at the Provincial Cultural Palace, the Department of Industry and Trade organized a conference to connect the product consumption of the ethnic minorities and the mountainous areas in 2024. There was the attendance of the representatives of leaders of a number of departments, branches, businesses, manufacturers and distributors inside and outside the province.
The One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme is reshaping the rural economy of Lac Son district, helping improve living standards, particularly among the ethnic minority communities in remote areas of Lac Son district.
The Van Mai dam xanh (Bangana lemassoni) fish has long been famous for its unique and delicious flavour, earning a spot on the menus of many restaurants and attracting food connoisseurs. In recent years, residents in Van Mai commune, Mai Chau district, have expanded their fish farming areas and striven to build a strong reputation for their product. They are also working to establish it as an OCOP (One Commune, One Product) item to increase their income.
Outstanding rural industrial products of Hoa Binh province in 2024 were recently honoured and granted certificates, becoming a source of pride for producers and also a boost for local economic development. The honourees are all deeply imbued with the local cultural identity and boast considerable commercial potential, helping popularise the image of Hoa Binh to domestic and international consumers. This is also a solid stepping stone for rural industrial establishments to develop.
In the first 10 months of 2024, Hoa Binh city made significant progress in job creation and labour exports, sending 112 workers abroad through partnerships with authorised recruitment firms.
An award ceremony to announce the official certification for Mai Chau district’s Bangana lemassoni fish, a specialty of the locality because of its unique flavour, was held recently in the district.
